Okay, I'm Back

Hi, my name is Tricia and I used to blog. Do you remember that? Barely, you say? Yeah, me either :)

Anyway, here I am...back in my little bloggy space. Besides just being busy with life over the last few months, I've been feeling like I lost my creative mojo or some such thing. I'm not really sure why. I suppose that's just how life is sometimes.

At any rate, I thought I'd take a few photos to try and get back into the swing of things. I always love flowers and food so that's what I went with. Isn't that floral ribbon pretty? My friend Tracey from French Larkspur sent it to me awhile back. Great girl, that Tracey :)

I look at those tulips and I keep hoping that wonderful weather is just over the horizon. This winter has already felt sooo long that I absolutely can't wait for some warm, sunny days. I'm sure a lot of you are with me on this, right?!

Well, I suppose, that's all for today. Total shocker, but I already took photos for another post...yay me!

Welcome back sweet friend!!I know...I've been away too..mine was about computer issues, but I have a brand new computer and I'm loving it!Love your images...so pretty!Love & warm hugs!I'm hoping spring is early too!!!!! ;)

Hi my dear Tricia, I'm so so glad you're back among us, I've been missing you so much !!Well, I must say that you haven't lost your creative mojo at all, your photographs are always so inspired and enchanting and ... I'd love to sip a little of that inviting French Larkspur together with you, while waiting for the spring coming !Sending you lots of hugs with all my heart <3Dany

Well I knew your photos would be pretty and they certainly are!!!!! You are too sweet to mention me :)) Look how many people are excited you posted??!! Maybe that will motivate you to post more frequently!! :)

Dear Tricia, it is wonderful to see you posting on your blog again! I have been looking often with fingers crossed and here you are! Your blog is so beautiful. I have been away from blogging for quite a while too and have been back for a few weeks now and loving it :)

Yes, we all missed you!!! Your photography is outstanding. I probably don't live far from you and I sure wish I could get some lessons from you. Our winter has been brutal, and your blog today is like a breath of springtime. Please don't go away again.

It was so nice to see you pop up in my reader, Tricia!!Been wondering where you've been, and surely missed all of your beautiful images here.If you lost your mojo, it sure looks like it's back, to me!!!

gosh, those pops of red are so welcome with all the white outside! at least the temps are up a bit this week. so glad to see you posting again! your photo/styling skills are just wonderful …you have a real talent for it. they are so pretty, pretty, pretty! looking forward to your next 'visual feast'. i have been sooooo bad at posting anything for months, for so many reasons … just glad to see you back again!

Hi Tricia! I, too have been so sporadic about blogging. I love Instagram, it's just too easy!I was thinking your ribbon and such reminded me of Tracey and there you said it, it is from Tracey! How fun, I love to order from her. Beautiful photos, as always. :))

It's nice to see a post filled with your lovely photos, Tricia! The tulips look like spring and I hope it comes early this year! It's been a long winter already, and it's only February 1! Let's think warm thoughts. :)

Hey Tricia! So good to see you back in bloglandia, sweetie! I know how winter can steal one's mojo so easily. And cabin fever doesn't help, either. lol Well, I'm right beside ya counting the days til spring. If I never saw another snowflake in my life, I'd be perfectly happy. lol

I had just discovered your blog back in November, put you on my side blogroll…and then you disappeared! So glad you're back and I love your images. Look forward to seeing more, and I hope you will get some traffic from my blogroll!```Libby

I'm glad you're back! I saw your feature at Brenda's and I realized I hadn't been to your blog for awhile and wouldn't you know it, I fell off your Follower list as I have been doing with a lot of blogs. Grrrrr.

Beautiful photos, I like that ribbon, too. All of these colors are so soft and soothing.

Welcome back! I love your photography and this is such a pretty (and yummy) vignette! I've been away for a long while too. I keep thinking about getting back into it but then I don't sit down and begin again. Sigh

Hi Tricia, nice to hear from you again. Sometimes we all need a break. This January my book Sweet White Of Mine was published and I mentioned your blog among others to share and inspire my readers. I always loved your pictures. So I am happy you are back. Spring will be there soon, don't worry ;-) Carolina

I am more than happy to see your beautiful delicate photography again! I totally understand what you mean by losing your creative mojo as I often myself feel that way ... and particularly at this very moment. What often encourages me to keep going are Ira Glass's wise words on creativity and "...It is normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work... It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.” Look forward to see more of you and always grateful for your honest feedback on my work!

Hi Tricia, just stopping by to say how delightful your blog is. Thanks so much for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. I have been having trouble with GFC and if I am already following you, and you following me, please forgive me. If not, please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chrishttp://chelencarter-retiredandlovingit.blogspot.ca/

oh thank goodness! What a delight it was to see you pop up in my reader! We're all very glad you're back. These images were styled to perfection, as always Tricia. I'm green with envy at you're styling talents.Claire -hearthandmadeuk

I was just thumbing through a 2012 copy of "Artful Blogging" Magazine and saw your delightful old masthead and photography as well as wonderful blog name so thought we'd go look your blog up but , lo and behold, while fresh and new looking with GORGEOUS photos and a great post, there's been nothing since January? Looks like back then you were about to restart? So sorry to see you haven;t been able to post here. Who knows why. Maybe some calamity befell you or life just got in the way, I don't know, just know this --there are many out there/here who would love to see you back online. Wishing you all the best.

Hello sweetie! I miss you!I was on Pinterest the other day and saw a photo of an acorn that was so lovely..I recognized it was your photo! Your photos are "one-of-a-kinds!" :)Miss you and hope you are well!

Good to see you back, Tricia! Just when I've grown a little tired of blogging. Your photos are lovely, as always. Your mojo is definitely back, if you even lost it at all. I go through periods of feeling like that myself. Anyway, so nice to see you again. Take care...

Hey Tricia! Yes-that's me-several times a year I lose my mojo. I don't worry about it any more-I expect it-but I also expect to get it back when I lose it. I love following Tracey on IG-I just ️swoon over her feed. These photos are lovely and I'm happy to see you back. Xo

About Me

Hello! I'm Tricia. Thanks for visiting my little corner of the world. This is where I explore my love of decorating, photography and creating pretty things…artistic places where, with a little bit of luck, I will figure out where God next wants to lead me.
